1. CA is actually running a slight SURPLUS at this point

Dec 2014

Taxes on earners above $500,000 were raised,
along with a 1/4% increase in the state sales tax.
That's it.

Problem solved.

We need to kill that ridiculous talking-point from the Reagan administration, once-and-for-all.

Just a reminder for the non-lobotomized:

Cutting taxes decreases revenues.

Raising taxes increases revenues.

I mean...Duh.

Disagree?
Then give me 1/2 your paycheck, so you'll have more money.

Reflexive "Tax-Haters" need to stop lying, if they ever can.
